Summer Dreams tracks the unique journeys of 2013 NBA Draft first-round picks Michael Carter-Williams of the Philadelphia 76ers (pictured with then NBA commissioner David Stern) and Shane Larkin of the Dallas Mavericks, son of Baseball Hall of Famer Barry Larkin. The special also spotlights Lauren Holtkamp’s quest to become the second current female referee in the NBA, and a recently unemployed NBA Development League coach trying to get noticed by NBA team executives.

“The NBA Summer League is an incredibly colorful event in which team owners, general managers, coaches, lottery picks and longshots all convene in Las Vegas to pursue their hoops dreams,” said executive producer Mike Tollin. “With unprecedented access, we’ll witness hopes dashed and dreams coming true right in front of our eyes.”

Summer Dreams airs on CBS Saturday, March 15, at 8pm ET/PT.
